Cardiology Claims

Cardiology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, and accounts for approximately 20% of all acute medicine. Therefore it is not surprising that Foot Anstey receive a high number of enquiries from patients and their families concerning the treatment received, which can be in reference to both the hospital and GP care. It is important to bear in mind, however, that surgery on the heart is always going to be high risk. Simply because an outcome was not what you wanted or expected, it does not mean someone has been negligent.

Because Cardiology is such a vast and complex practice area, negligence can impact a patient in a number of ways. The surgery could cause further damage to the heart, resulting in the need for additional surgery, cause brain damage, or, in some cases, even be fatal.

This can be a traumatic time for the patient and their family, but at Foot Anstey we are able to offer a supportive and understanding atmosphere in which you can discuss your claim. We will investigate with sensitivity, making the process as stress free as possible.
